| Description of the problem | When slowing down kept hearing a humming noise coming from the rearend. About 10 minutes later i slowed down to make a turn and boom the driveshaft falls out of the rearend and the rear wheels lock up. The pinion nut had come off and pinion yolk (still attached to the driveshaft) came out of the rearend. The chrysler dealership determined that the driveshaft was not reusable and had to replace the rearend housing and all it's internal parts. |
